CREATIVITY
IN SERVICE

OF DOGS

Life is better with dogs. My Barking Life celebrates that bond through stories, adventures, practical advice, and original artwork inspired by Pike, Gus, and the dogs we meet along the way. Every purchase and every act of support helps fund advocacy efforts that keep dogs with the families who love them and give shelter dogs a better chance at finding forever homes.

Not home yet.

Some dogs wait weeks. Some wait months. Some wait long enough that people stop noticing them. We sponsor their adoption fees — using proceeds from our art and merchandise — so that when the right person finally comes along, cost isn't the thing standing in the way.

Introducting
the Junior Dog Guardians Program!

Good dog guardians start young. Junior Dog Guardians is a kid-friendly program that teaches children how to understand, respect, and safely live alongside dogs. Through simple, engaging lessons on dog body language, safety, care, and responsible pet ownership, kids learn that being a good friend to a dog means knowing what dogs are trying to tell us — and knowing when to give them space.

Your dog. Your donation. A little art for a big cause.

Throughout October, My Barking Life is turning dog photos into custom digital portraits — and you choose the amount you’d like to donate directly to the Coshocton County Animal Shelter.

​

Donate at least $5. Send me your proof of donation and a photo of your dog. Choose your style, and I’ll create a one-of-a-kind digital portrait just for you.

​

Every donation helps support spay/neuter efforts and keeps more dogs from ever entering a shelter.

 

Help prevent the problem. Get some art. Make a difference.
